question many Bethel wo-men
will be asking as Nik
Dag week begins. Nik Dag
is Bethel's version of Sa-die
Hawkin's Day when
the women ask the men -
out. "South Pacific:
There's Nothin' Like a
Guy" is the theme of this
year's festivities.
The official Nikking

The Viking's game Oct.
25, was the most popular
TV show of the week (Oct.
18-25) among Bethel stu-dents,
according to a poll
conducted by the 'News
and Feature Writing class
and the Clarion. The news,
M*A*S*H, and the World
Series also had many
viewers.
A poll was taken Tues-day
morning, Oct. 27, be-tween
8:30 and 9:30 a.m.,
at various locations
throughout the school
buildings. Students, se-lected
at random, were
asked: "Which of the fol-lowing
TV programs did
you watch last week?" A
previously compiled list
of 21 programs was used
as a check list. Of the 161
interviewed, 88 were wo-men
and 73 were men.
Thirty-three freshman, 48
sophomores, 49 juniors
and 31 seniors were
polled.
Nearly half of the men
surveyed and over one-third
of the women tuned
in to the Minnesota-St.
Louis football game.
Taken as a whole, 42 per
cent of Bethel students
saw the game.
Bethel students do
watch the news. Thirty-seven
per cent of the stu-dent
body watched at least
first mate. If he agrees she
presents him with a sailor
hat. The hats are available
in the CC office.
As part of the Nik Dag
tradition, the woman is to
make the man's favorite
dessert for him. However,
if the Nikee is caught
without the sailor hat in
his possession, he has to
make her favorite dessert
for her.
According to Lori Droogs-ma,
campus coordinator,
tickets will be on sale
Monday through Thurs-day
at the CC office for the
banquet to be held Friday,
Nov. 13, at 6:30 p.m. in the
gym. Girls should get their
tickets as soon as possible
she said, though seating is
not by reservation.
one segment of the news
last week, placing news
second in popularity.
Senior women comprised
the largest audience with
55 per cent watching. The
smallest audience for
news was freshmen wo-men.
The men had a slight-ly
greater percentage of
newsviewers than the
women.
M*A*S*H was third
overall with 34 per cent of
the students watching the
comedy.
The most popular soap
opera at Bethel is General
Hospital. Nearly one-quarter
of all Bethel wo-men
watched at least one
segment of the episodes
last week. The largest fan
group for this soap was
the junior women. Only
two men reported watch-ing
the program.
The top ten shows, ac-cording
to the poll results
for the student body as a
whole, were:

Vikings take the top in TV poll

The newly-formed Beth-el
Business Association
(BBA) will host its first
event Monday, Nov. 9.
John Chisholm, part own-er
of John W. Ivance Com-pany,
will share his views
of integrating his role of a
businessman with his
commitment to Jesus
Christ. "Chisholm is an
energetic speaker," said
Walt Joy, one of the insti-gators
of the BBA. The
kick-off meeting begins at
7:15 p.m. in FA 313.
The purpose of the BBA
as stated in the associa-tion's
brochure is to foster
the study and understand-ing
of the world of busi-ness
and to integrate these
findings with students'
commitment to Jesus
Christ. "BBA is not only
for business students,"
said Joy. "It is for anyone
who would like the oppor-tunity
to grow in leader-ship
and personality de-velopment
skills."
The association has
several goals. Among
them are: 1) to provide
opportunities for students
to interact with and learn
from the business com-munity
by having an out-side,
speaker once a week;
2) to provide an opportun-ity
for students to meet
regularly and have fellow-ship
with each other; 3) to
make students aware of
internship possibilities; 4)
to broaden students'
knowledge and under-standing
of the many ca-reer
opportunities in the
business world.
"We want to stress the
importance of integrating
Jesus Christ with our vo-cational
business career,"
said Joy.
"Our goal is also to de-velop
an internship pro-gram
to allow students to
experience the real, every-day
work world," said Joy.
Joy is presently involved
in an internship for the
Classification Compensa-tion
Division for Em-ployee
Relations Depart-ment
for the State of Min-nesota.
"To discover what pro-fessions
we truly want to
pursue we need an oppor-tunity
to experience things
that interest us and that
we don't really under-stand,"
explained Joy. "I
encourage anyone who
likes a challenge to grow
and experience new oppor-tunities
to get involved-with
the BBA," he added.
The BBA is structured
with a constitution and
bylaws. This structure in-cludes
officers and various
committees. The associa-tion
began last spring with
a handful of business stu-dents.
"The people in-volved
now are mostly
seniors but we are work-ing
on getting underclass-men
involved too," said
Kelly Carlson, one of the
originators of the associa-tion.
Robert Weaver, as-sistant
professor in busi-ness
at Bethel, is the BBA
faculty advisor. _

Withholding information frustrates reporters and informers
Newspapers are notorious for making mistakes. A
week does not go by that there is not at least one
critique of the Clarion. Criticism is helpful. It helps the
staff to focus on areas that need work and to try harder.
However, in the wake of the recent newspaper article
on Bethel and other private colleges, a new disease has
struck campus. Those afflicted include, but are not
limited to, administrators, teachers and staff people.
The disease: Media-Paranoia. This disease is a result of
distrust of the newspaper as a medium. However,
Media-Paranoia has little to do with the media but has a
lot to do with pride. Those afflicted do not want to give
information to Clarion reporters because (they fear)
that information may misrepresent them or their de-partment.
The sufferers are afflicted with a strange sort
of apathy. Although physically involved with projects
and organizations, they appear not to care about accu-rate
representation of the projects in the news because
they refuse to talk with reporters. They fear that the
press will misconstrue their position or the facts.
Media-Paranoia is exasperating to editors and
would-be reporters. Reporters are unable to obtain
information from those who suffer from the disease.
The most common symptoms of the disease are the
refusal to grant interviews and withholding informa-tion
during an interview. "I don't want to talk about it,"
or more subtly, "I'm not qualified (or allowed) to give
information" are two examples of the way the disease
manifests itself:
Generally the reporter will go to another source for
the information. Often, the reporter's second choice is
. not the ideal one for up-to-date information. Often a
secondary source has only second-hand information.
Reporters may also use printed matter in the informa-tion-
gathering process. But again, a first-hand author-ity
is useful in explaining the printed matter.
The most aggravating symptom displayed is manif-ested
in this age-old quote: "I won't give you an inter-view
unless I can see (insert also, read, edit or change)
the story you (the reporter) write before it is turned in."
The wise reporter will not take an interview under such
circumstances. The reporter would rather opt for a less
reliable source despite the need for accurate facts.
Why?
In professional journalism (Clarion reporters/writers
are quasi-professionals) no reporter allows a source to
gee and/or change a story. There are good reasons. The
reporter is under a time deadline (even on a weekly
paper) and has no time to go back and have the source
person read the story. In addition, the journalist is
concerned with writing a story that clearly, accurately
and fairly represents the facts. If the provider of those
facts edits the story, the story then represents the opin-ion
of that person, not the unbiased facts. This is espe-cially
true if the issue is controversial.
One other point, there have been desperate reporters
in past years who have deceitfully consented to inter-views
with the "check the story" contingency. They
turn in to the editor a copy of the original story, not the
one the source altered. Needless to say this is dishonest
and causes hostilities that could be avoided if the
source person had only understood the journalist's
position in the first place. Writers for the Clarion editor-ial
staff are not allowed to resort to such measures.
Granted, the Clarion makes mistakes. But with-holding
information only compounds the possiblity of
error rather than eliminating it. Clarion writers and all
reporters try very hard to get the facts right in the
limited amount of time they have. The editing staff
wants the paper to be correct.
Writers will, if asked, call and double check quotes.
by Leann M. Kicker
Deadlines, many of
them, are an integral part
of newspaper production.
There are deadlines at ev-ery
step, from making as-signments
to distribution
of the final copies.
It takes two weeks to
put out one Clarion. From
the Friday when assign-ments
are made to the Fri-day
two weeks later when
it is distributed there is a
constant flurry of activity
to contact people, find
facts, write, edit, typeset,
proofread, layout and
start planning the next is-sue.
With so many things
happening simultaneous-ly
and quickly, mistakes
happen. Mistakes can ha-pen
anywhere in the pro-duction
process. The re-porter
is not always to
blame.
When a story is assign-ed
the reporter tries to
find accurate facts. Even
so, mistakes can happen.
The source may inadvert-ently
give incorrect infor-mation
or the reporter
may misunderstand the
information given. Also,
the writer may transpose
figures when taking notes
or typing. Quotes can be
taken out of context or
misinterpreted. In spite of
the many possible compli-cations
reporters usually
deliver accurate stories to
the copy editor.
When the copy editor
reads the copy she checks
the spelling, grammar,
and facts as carefully as
possible. Occasionally, in
an attempt to clarify a
sentence or idea the copy
editor may change the
facts.
They will not, however, read or turn in an entire story to
the source person. In addition, the copy editor reads and
checks the accuracy of the- story as much as possible.
After typesetting the copy is proofread for typesetting
errors. Mistakes can still slip by but not because the
staff does not care. It does. But the newspaper is a
timely medium that compiles and prints a lot of infor-mation
in a very short time.
To a certain extent the accuracy of the newspaper is
dependent on how and where the information for it is
obtained. Facts are virtually bound to be wrong if
obtained by hearsay, rumor or a second-hand source
person because the person "in the know" has shut the
office door to reporters "in order to prevent mistakes."
When the Clarion makes a mistake it is more than
willing to make a correction and try harder next time.
The Clarion is willing to swallow its pride. How about
everyone else doing the same?

Growth results from loneliness in the soul
by Kraig Klaudt
In each of us there is loneliness.
Moods of depression and gnawing pains of hurt often
overtake us without warning. They strip us of the
accouterments of security, leaving us naked as if before
death. The insignificance of our striving and achieveing
is revealed.
We see it in others, we feel it in ourselves.
Loneliness exists in spite of our desire to love and
receive love. It is, in fact, our most common companion.
The silent fellowship it offers is always near when
there is no one else to embrace.
We know this loneliness well. It is not a stranger.
After exploiting our esteem and 'desolating clur, confi-dence
it finds home in the rubble of our ultimate
isolation.
We do not like its companionship.
We would prefer to flee when its shadows threaten
our joy and celebration.
When we flee, media babble, social frivolity and
other anti-silence devices protect us from the despair of
thoughts and emotions. Friends and lovers conven-iently
become objects of dependence. Religious faith is
easily transfigured into a_pain-killing opium.
Though we flee, the darkness of our souls cannot be
escaped. We become breathless futily trying to outdis-tance
its hurt.
When we turn to others for love, we discover the vast
distances which separate people. Not only do our
words fail to express our feelings, they are heard by
others only through the filter of their own varied expe-riences.
Sharing with others confirms our §uspicions
that we are truly alone in the world.

Gray and her roommate,

We cannot turn to God without first knocking over
cardboard icons we have built of Him in our minds and
in our souls. When we experience His presence we learn
that He does not stand opposed to all pain and emo-tional
hurt.
It is exasperating to try to fill loneliness's dark, infi-nite
void. We soon find that the dark night of the lonely
soul cannot be filled or satisfied but must be accepted
as our friend. We need not rush to be free of it. Rather,
we can be content to follow it, listen to it and learn from
it.
If we accept it and are content to follow it, loneliness

It has been said that only those who have expe-rienced
hurt can effectively minister to the hurting.
Loneliness peels back the superficial layers of tough,
callous skin, exposing our hurt so that we might sense
the hurt of others as well.
St. John of the Cross, Christian mystic of the 16th
century, reassures us that loneliness is a necessary step
for spiritual progress:
When an explorer wants to travel into new and
unknown lands, he must seek new roads of which he
does not know anything either by his own past expe-rience
or by the reports of others. Similarly,.when the
soul is making most progress, it is traveling in dar-kness
and unknowing.

Parents visit Bethel campus for weekend
by Dona L Amann
The population of Beth-el
grew this past weekend,
Oct. 30-31, when many
students' parents came to
visit Bethel for Parents'
Weekend.
During the weekend par-ents
had the opportunity
to look over the campus. A
special brunch for parents
only was held Saturday
morning. "This was a
change from last year,"
said JoAnn Moberg, a
Bethel .parent. "In past
years we've done other
things, such as a lunch
before the football game.
This year we had more
time between activities, I
felt better about it."
Saturday night parents
and students gathered to-gether
for a banquet. Cal-vin

The problem is that
many of the students
either do not spend that
much time with their ad-visors
or else do not see
them at all.
According to Tricia
Brownlee, director of aca-demic
programming, the

of the need for planning
their total lives and to as-sist
in that process; 2) to

Nov. 3 is the first day
for the 1982 graduates to
be measured for caps and
gowns. Measurements
will be taken across from
the food card window near
the Lemon Lounge from 8
a.m. to 12 p.m. until Nov.
13.
"It is very important for
graduates to be measured
at-this time. It can be a real
hassel to track down those

in executing their
educational plans while at

students aware of the re-sources
available to them
that relate to the execu-tion
of their educational
and career plans.
Brownlee admitted that
the goals of the advising
program are idealistic.
"The biggest problem is
the amount of time that an
advisor is actually able to
spend with an individual,"
said Brownlee. "It's not
that they are unwilling to
spend the time with the
students, but since they
have other responsibili-ties
of preparing and teach-ing

said Paul Drake, director
of auxilaries. "Latecomers
will get old robes." The
only measurements taken
are height and head size.
Unlike past years grad-uates
can keep their caps.
This is due to a change in
the cap and gown com-pany.
The new company,
Willsie Caps and Gowns,
is 850 cheaper and in-cludes
the agreement for
counsel. However, be-cause
of the high interest
in certain departments,
such as business, some
teachers have as many as
50 advisees while others
have only 10.
"Students can help by
allowing their advisors
enough time to help,them
in planning their sched-ule,"
said Brownlee. "They
shouldn't wait until the
last minute to see them.
Students will often wait
until the day before they
have to register to see
their advisor."
"I know that I am some-times
probably hard to get
a hold of," said Paul John-son,
instructor in the soci-ology
department, "but I
think if the student tried
hard enough she/he could
get in touch with me. I
know every semester that
not all of my advisees
come to get signatures to
approve the scheduling of
next semester's classes. I
suppose several of them
must forge my name on
the registration sheet."
Dave Murchie, assistant
professor of Biblical and
Theological Studies, said,
"I think most students
have an idea of what they

help guide them through

that they don't get off the
track."
Murchie also said that
he knew not all of his
advisees had come to get
his signature for class
scheduling. "I think it is
the responsibility of the
student to see that he gets
those things done," said
Murchie.

Job Corps running smoothly
by Mitch Anderson
For nearly three months,
the highly controversial
Hubert H. Humphrey Job
Corps Center has been
operating smoothly at the
old Bethel campus at 1480
N. Snelling Ave.
Job Corps is a federally-funded,
privately-run agen-cy
that operates 107 cen-ters
to train 16 to 21-year-old
people in vocational
skills and to help them
complete basic education
if needed. Many of those
served by Job Corps across
the nation are minorities,
high-school dropouts and
young people who have
some previous police rec-ord.
by Mitch Anderson
Outside, shouts and
peals of laughter fill the
warm autumn air as a gym
class plays touch football.
Inside, pleasant conversa-tion
fills the hallways as
classes are released.
Things at the Job Corps
Center seem the same as
when Bethel students oc-cupied
the buildings.
However, Job Corps stu-dents
are allowed to
smoke in the dorms, out-side
and in other desig-nated
areas. This was
never permitted while
Bethel occupied the cam-pus.
Aside from the smoking
rules, many of the rules at
the Center are more strin-gent
than any imposed at
Bethel. No cars, drugs or
alcohol are allowed on
campus. Class attendance
's mandatory, dorm lights
must be out by 11 p.m. and
students are allowed to
leave campus only if given
-a pass. For the average Job
Corps student, who is 19
and has been on his or her
own for a number of years,
these rules are often diffi-cult
to adjust to.
"Sometimes I get fed up
with it all, but I know it's
helping me in the long
run," said Diana Buford
when asked about the
rules. Buford is a 19-year-old
high school dropout
who is working for her
General Education Diplo-ma
(GED) at the Center. A
GED is the equivilant of a
high school diploma.
What is helping Buford
and the other 246 Job
Corps students in the long
run is the vocational and/

receive at the Center. The

Scott Nelson wrote: "Get

and start a new life. Get

...Earn a little money in

His words seem to sum-marize
the outlook of most
Job Corps students.
When Bethel began ne-gotiating
the sale of the
old campus in 1976 with
the U.S. Department of
Labor, area residents
fought bitterly to keep Job
Corps out of the neigh-borhood.
They feared an
increased crime rate arid a
decrease in property
value. Most of the opposi-tion
was based on reports
of serious problems with
other Job Corps centers
around the nation.
After Bethel's six-year
search for a buyer ended
with the $1.6 million sale,
a four and a half year
neighborhood struggle be-gan.
The struggle included
yard signs protesting the
center and a neighbor-hood
coalition which tried
to postpone the opening of
the center by appearing
before the U.S. Supreme
Court with an environ-mental
impact study.
Extra security measures
have been created as a
result of the opposition.
Mayor George Latimer
last year appointed a
neighborhood advisory
committee to screen all
applicants to the center.
Enrollment is limited to
250 students instead of the
planned 400 who are not
allowed to have a car or to
leave campus withou-t a
pass.
Since the students be-gan
arriving last July there
have been few complaints
from the neighbors. "Most
residents have reacted
with surprised pleasure,"
said Center Director Brent
Lewis.
Gerald Healy, Bethel pro-fessor
of English, has lived
a block and a half away
from the campus for 20
years. He said that he
would never know the Job
Corps students were there
unless he drove by the
Center.
One resident near the
Center planned on moving
When she heard about the

Due to health prob-lems
she is staying, taking

attitude. She
worked at the Center for a
_week and concluded "most
of the kids were nice." She
has not seen any students
going off campus. How-ever,
she keeps a wary eye
on her three young child-ren.
She said she fears the
twelve-member security
force is not great enough
to contain all the students.
Marilyn Starr, Bethel's
dean of women, lives a
half block from the Cen-ter.
She said she is much
more afraid of people from
the State Fair than from
Job Corps. "If there is one
thing I could get rid of in
this neighborhood it is the
State Fair traffic," she
said.
The Corps members,
aware of their controver-sial
presence, established
good public relations this
year when they cleaned
up neighborhood trash
after the State Fair.

Bethel theater opens season with "Acts"
by joAnn Watkins
The Bethel theater de-partment
has opened this
year's season with the
production "Acts." The
play is created and di-rected
by Dale E. Rott,
associate professor of
theater arts at Bethel.
"It will include kick-shaw,
conte, bestiary, apo-logue,
picaresque. Or, if
you like, it will feature
parable, anecdote, legend,
myth, scenario. There
were the stories of Jesus—
now there are the stories
of the followers; there
were the Acts of the Apo-stles—
now there are the
Acts of the followers. A
unique dramatic presen-tation
of great variety,
'Acts' will be highlighted
by an actual laser beam,"
states the publicity no-tices.
The play is different'
from other productions in
that it follows the line of
traditional morality plays.
The audience is involved
even before the central
acting begins. The audi-ence
is given balloons and
fortune cookies. The house
lights are on and back-ground
music plays. Every-one
who seems to be in-volved
with the play is in
costumes ranging from a
cow to purple rabbits to a
clown. All have make-up
mask faces.
When the lights go down
and the play begins the
audience is thrown into
the setting of a centennial
millenial birthday party
for Human Person Male.
A disagreement seems to
be arising between Plea-sure,
a character, and Hu-man
Person Female as to
what Human Person
would like his party to be:
surprise and variety or
order and routine.
I I H
This conflict is carried
throughout the play. Oc-casional
lines, to the
health service, relate the
content of the play to the
Bethel community. Lines
are directed to other char-acters
that refer to the
audience's presence. Cast
members also deliver
some of their lines from
the aisles.
Human Person is pre-sented
with gifts of suc-cess
in business, know-ledge,
religion, power es-thetics
and clinical, bioni-cal
and continual-exis-tence
through medicine.
"It is all based on real
things that are happen-ing,"
said Rott. He said the
aim of the play is "to make
us look at ourselves and
see how we have pervert-ed
truth and purity. The
facts of life are made far-cical
on stage."
"My aim is always to
produce something with
religion in it," he said. Rott
said that the biblical allu-sions
in the play will show
people that we are doing
the same things today as
were done in biblical
times.
In 1971 Rott took the
play "Acts" on tour
through Europe. After re-visions,
a U.S. tour, a trip
to England, and another
rewrite the play is being

During the late spring

The geese still seen on
Lake Valentine are "free-flying"

The program is an educa-tional

for the Minnesota Nuclear
Freeze Campaign.
The film will be fol-lowed
by a discussion of
how attendees can become
involved in the Freeze
Campaign.
The focus of the Minne-sota
Nuclear Freeze Cam-paign
is a petition that
reads as follows:
"The United States and
the Soviet Union should
jointly stop the nuclear
arms race. Specifically,
tion. Within the drama is
the love story of a young
peasant woman and a pal-ace
guard. In choosing to
help an abandoned child
of an aristocrat, putting
the welfare of another a-bove
her own, the woman
becomes a symbol of those
who pursue peace in a vio-lent
and corrupt world.
"Brecht's 'Chalk Circle,–
said the director, "offers
the audience an unusual
challenge to consider the
optic:in for goodness and
social responsibility."
they should adopt an
immediate, mutual freeze
on all further testing,
production and deploy-ment
of nuclear weapons
and of missiles and new
aircraft designed pri-marily
to deliver nuclear
weapons."
The goal of the Minne-sota
Nuclear Freeze Cam-paign
is to collect 5,000
signatures for the freeze in
each district of the state.
The petitions will be pre-sented
publicly to local,
state and national repre-sentatives.
Similar cam-paigns
are underway in
over 17 states and 75 con-gressional
districts around
the country. The long range
goal is a bill before the
U.S. Senate.

will provide practical jbb-hunting
advice as well as
detailed information on
specific careers in com-munications.
The day will begin with
guest speakers discussing
the topics "Where Do I Go
from Here: Career Plan-ning,"
and "Pounding the

stainless steel sculpture,
"Rokker V' ", built by Stu
Luckman, professor of art
at Bethel.
Wahl's film follows the
making of the sculpture
from the metal plant
where a crew of up to
eight members worked on
the piece, to the move of
the sculpture at 3 a.m. on
Oct. 8 to the University of
Minnesota campus where
it is on display.
Although the film is
about the creation of a
sculpture, the theme
stresses deadlines and the
importance of enough
faith in the project to con-tinue
working. This theme
helped Wahl overcome ob-stacles
while working on
the film. "I had to live
what I was hearing," she
said.
Wahl began filming at
the end of July and com-pleted
her work a couple
of weeks ago. The end re-sult
is a film about 15
minutes long.
A video tape of the film
is being shown at the Uni-versity
Gallery, Northrop
Auditorium, along with a
video presentation en-titled
"Process: A Public
Sculpture by Stewart Luck-man."
Both shows docu-ment
the process of creat-ing
"Rokker V."
Wahl plans to make
video copies of her film
and send them on tour to
other galleries and uni-versities.
She also would
like the film to travel to
film festivals along with
the presentation show by
Luckman.
The film is in black and
white to achieve true
newsreel documentary
footage. "The quality is
incredible," Wahl said.
"The film has a look of
another time—up to the
minute, yet removed."
Wahl is pleased with the
film and wants it to be
treated as a work of art.
After seeing the com-pleted
film, Wahl said, "I
wanted to pray and thank
the Lord."
"You never can do any-thing
alone," Wahl said.
Wahl stresses the impor-tance
of being supportive
of friends and of accepting
support from others.
"That's the heart of art-work,"
she said.
Wahl earned her master
of fine arts degree in film-making
from the Univer-sity
of Minnesota.
Public strikes:
Corner hosts
two speakers
by Debbie Sayler
Although Executive
'Vice-president of the Min-nesota
AFL-CIO Bernie
Brommer and Deputy Com-missioner
and state labor
negotiator Jim Geissner
differed on public em-ployee
strikes, both said
essential public em-ployees,
such as police and
firemen, should not strike.
To do so would place the
community in danger.
Brommer and Geissner
discussed the question,
"Should all public em-ployees
have the legal
right to strike?" at the
Tuesday, Oct. 27th Speak-er's
Corner debate and
open forum.
Brommer, a trade union-ist
for the American Fed-eration
of State and Coun-ty
Municipal Employees
for 13 years, said public
employees should . have
the right to strike except
in cases where the public's
safety is endangered.
Brommer believes all pub-lic
employees must have
some alternative rights
when they can't strike. He
said they need a mecha-nism
to have input and
suggested collective bar-gaining
for employees.
Geissner disagreed with
Brommer. As a public la-bor
negotiator for 14 years
he argued that public em-ployees
should not be al-lowed
to strike.
He differentiated be-tween
a private sector
strike and a public sector
strike. He pointed out that
consumers do not have al-

ternative products and ser-vices
during a public sec-tor
strike. Consumers can,
however, switch to ano-ther
brand of product or
service when a private
sector strikes.
Geissner also mention-ed
the danger to society
when certain public em-ployees
strike.
In arguing for the rights
of workers, Brommer said
that it is sometimes neces-sary
to use a strike as an
economic weapon when
workers can no longer tol-rate
conditions.
Brommer said he be-lieves
Americans are in-consistent
in their non-sup-port
of public sector
strikes. He said that Amer-icans
support the illegal
Polish strikes but won't
support a U.S. public sec-tor
strike.
Geissner closed by say-ing
that he expects the
next legislature to attempt
to solve the strike prob-lem.
In his closing remarks,
Brommer emphasized that
"laws are made to be
changed."

The Viking's game Oct.
25, was the most popular
TV show of the week (Oct.
18-25) among Bethel stu-dents,
according to a poll
conducted by the 'News
and Feature Writing class
and the Clarion. The news,
M*A*S*H, and the World
Series also had many
viewers.
A poll was taken Tues-day
morning, Oct. 27, be-tween
8:30 and 9:30 a.m.,
at various locations
throughout the school
buildings. Students, se-lected
at random, were
asked: "Which of the fol-lowing
TV programs did
you watch last week?" A
previously compiled list
of 21 programs was used
as a check list. Of the 161
interviewed, 88 were wo-men
and 73 were men.
Thirty-three freshman, 48
sophomores, 49 juniors
and 31 seniors were
polled.
Nearly half of the men
surveyed and over one-third
of the women tuned
in to the Minnesota-St.
Louis football game.
Taken as a whole, 42 per
cent of Bethel students
saw the game.
Bethel students do
watch the news. Thirty-seven
per cent of the stu-dent
body watched at least

presents him with a sailor
hat. The hats are available
in the CC office.
As part of the Nik Dag
tradition, the woman is to
make the man's favorite
dessert for him. However,
if the Nikee is caught
without the sailor hat in
his possession, he has to
make her favorite dessert
for her.

Vikings take the top in TV poll
by Naomi J. Ludeman
The newly-formed Beth-el
Business Association
(BBA) will host its first
event Monday, Nov. 9.
John Chisholm, part own-er
of John W. Ivance Com-pany,
will share his views
of integrating his role of a
businessman with his
commitment to Jesus
Christ. "Chisholm is an
energetic speaker," said
Walt Joy, one of the insti-gators
of the BBA. The
kick-off meeting begins at
7:15 p.m. in FA 313.
The purpose of the BBA
as stated in the associa-tion's
brochure is to foster
the study and understand-ing
of the world of busi-ness
and to integrate these
findings with students'
commitment to Jesus
Christ. "BBA is not only
for business students,"
said Joy. "It is for anyone
who would like the oppor-tunity
to grow in leader-ship
and personality de-velopment
skills."
The association has
several goals. Among
them are: 1) to provide
opportunities for students
to interact with and learn
from the business com-munity
by having an out-side,
speaker once a week;
2) to provide an opportun-ity
for students to meet
regularly and have fellow-ship
with each other; 3) to
make students aware of
internship possibilities; 4)
to broaden students'
knowledge and under-standing
of the many ca-reer
opportunities in the
business world.
"We want to stress the
importance of integrating
Jesus Christ with our vo-cational
business career,"
said Joy.
"Our goal is also to de-velop
an internship pro-gram
to allow students to
experience the real, every-day
work world," said Joy.
Joy is presently involved
in an internship for the
Classification Compensa-tion
Division for Em-ployee
Relations Depart-ment
for the State of Min-nesota.
"To discover what pro-fessions
we truly want to
pursue we need an oppor-tunity
to experience things
that interest us and that
we don't really under-stand,"
explained Joy. "I
encourage anyone who
likes a challenge to grow
and experience new oppor-tunities
to get involved-with
the BBA," he added.
The BBA is structured
with a constitution and
bylaws. This structure in-cludes
officers and various
committees. The associa-tion
began last spring with
a handful of business stu-dents.
"The people in-volved
now are mostly
seniors but we are work-ing
on getting underclass-men
involved too," said
Kelly Carlson, one of the
originators of the associa-tion.
Robert Weaver, as-sistant
professor in busi-ness
at Bethel, is the BBA
faculty advisor. _

Withholding information frustrates reporters and informers
Newspapers are notorious for making mistakes. A
week does not go by that there is not at least one
critique of the Clarion. Criticism is helpful. It helps the
staff to focus on areas that need work and to try harder.
However, in the wake of the recent newspaper article
on Bethel and other private colleges, a new disease has
struck campus. Those afflicted include, but are not
limited to, administrators, teachers and staff people.
The disease: Media-Paranoia. This disease is a result of
distrust of the newspaper as a medium. However,
Media-Paranoia has little to do with the media but has a
lot to do with pride. Those afflicted do not want to give
information to Clarion reporters because (they fear)
that information may misrepresent them or their de-partment.
The sufferers are afflicted with a strange sort
of apathy. Although physically involved with projects
and organizations, they appear not to care about accu-rate
representation of the projects in the news because
they refuse to talk with reporters. They fear that the
press will misconstrue their position or the facts.
Media-Paranoia is exasperating to editors and
would-be reporters. Reporters are unable to obtain
information from those who suffer from the disease.
The most common symptoms of the disease are the
refusal to grant interviews and withholding informa-tion
during an interview. "I don't want to talk about it,"
or more subtly, "I'm not qualified (or allowed) to give
information" are two examples of the way the disease
manifests itself:
Generally the reporter will go to another source for
the information. Often, the reporter's second choice is
. not the ideal one for up-to-date information. Often a
secondary source has only second-hand information.
Reporters may also use printed matter in the informa-tion-
gathering process. But again, a first-hand author-ity
is useful in explaining the printed matter.
The most aggravating symptom displayed is manif-ested
in this age-old quote: "I won't give you an inter-view
unless I can see (insert also, read, edit or change)
the story you (the reporter) write before it is turned in."
The wise reporter will not take an interview under such
circumstances. The reporter would rather opt for a less
reliable source despite the need for accurate facts.
Why?
In professional journalism (Clarion reporters/writers
are quasi-professionals) no reporter allows a source to
gee and/or change a story. There are good reasons. The
reporter is under a time deadline (even on a weekly
paper) and has no time to go back and have the source
person read the story. In addition, the journalist is
concerned with writing a story that clearly, accurately
and fairly represents the facts. If the provider of those
facts edits the story, the story then represents the opin-ion
of that person, not the unbiased facts. This is espe-cially
true if the issue is controversial.
One other point, there have been desperate reporters
in past years who have deceitfully consented to inter-views
with the "check the story" contingency. They
turn in to the editor a copy of the original story, not the
one the source altered. Needless to say this is dishonest
and causes hostilities that could be avoided if the
source person had only understood the journalist's
position in the first place. Writers for the Clarion editor-ial
staff are not allowed to resort to such measures.
Granted, the Clarion makes mistakes. But with-holding
information only compounds the possiblity of
error rather than eliminating it. Clarion writers and all
reporters try very hard to get the facts right in the
limited amount of time they have. The editing staff
wants the paper to be correct.
Writers will, if asked, call and double check quotes.
by Leann M. Kicker
Deadlines, many of
them, are an integral part
of newspaper production.
There are deadlines at ev-ery
step, from making as-signments
to distribution
of the final copies.
It takes two weeks to
put out one Clarion. From
the Friday when assign-ments
are made to the Fri-day
two weeks later when
it is distributed there is a
constant flurry of activity
to contact people, find
facts, write, edit, typeset,
proofread, layout and
start planning the next is-sue.
With so many things
happening simultaneous-ly
and quickly, mistakes
happen. Mistakes can ha-pen
anywhere in the pro-duction
process. The re-porter
is not always to
blame.
When a story is assign-ed
the reporter tries to
find accurate facts. Even
so, mistakes can happen.
The source may inadvert-ently
give incorrect infor-mation
or the reporter
may misunderstand the
information given. Also,
the writer may transpose
figures when taking notes
or typing. Quotes can be
taken out of context or
misinterpreted. In spite of
the many possible compli-cations
reporters usually
deliver accurate stories to
the copy editor.
When the copy editor
reads the copy she checks
the spelling, grammar,
and facts as carefully as
possible. Occasionally, in
an attempt to clarify a
sentence or idea the copy
editor may change the
facts.
They will not, however, read or turn in an entire story to
the source person. In addition, the copy editor reads and
checks the accuracy of the- story as much as possible.
After typesetting the copy is proofread for typesetting
errors. Mistakes can still slip by but not because the
staff does not care. It does. But the newspaper is a
timely medium that compiles and prints a lot of infor-mation
in a very short time.
To a certain extent the accuracy of the newspaper is
dependent on how and where the information for it is
obtained. Facts are virtually bound to be wrong if
obtained by hearsay, rumor or a second-hand source
person because the person "in the know" has shut the
office door to reporters "in order to prevent mistakes."
When the Clarion makes a mistake it is more than
willing to make a correction and try harder next time.
The Clarion is willing to swallow its pride. How about
everyone else doing the same?

Growth results from loneliness in the soul
by Kraig Klaudt
In each of us there is loneliness.
Moods of depression and gnawing pains of hurt often
overtake us without warning. They strip us of the
accouterments of security, leaving us naked as if before
death. The insignificance of our striving and achieveing
is revealed.
We see it in others, we feel it in ourselves.
Loneliness exists in spite of our desire to love and
receive love. It is, in fact, our most common companion.
The silent fellowship it offers is always near when
there is no one else to embrace.
We know this loneliness well. It is not a stranger.
After exploiting our esteem and 'desolating clur, confi-dence
it finds home in the rubble of our ultimate
isolation.
We do not like its companionship.
We would prefer to flee when its shadows threaten
our joy and celebration.
When we flee, media babble, social frivolity and
other anti-silence devices protect us from the despair of
thoughts and emotions. Friends and lovers conven-iently
become objects of dependence. Religious faith is
easily transfigured into a_pain-killing opium.
Though we flee, the darkness of our souls cannot be
escaped. We become breathless futily trying to outdis-tance
its hurt.
When we turn to others for love, we discover the vast
distances which separate people. Not only do our
words fail to express our feelings, they are heard by
others only through the filter of their own varied expe-riences.
Sharing with others confirms our §uspicions
that we are truly alone in the world.

We cannot turn to God without first knocking over

that He does not stand opposed to all pain and emo-tional

It is exasperating to try to fill loneliness's dark, infi-nite
void. We soon find that the dark night of the lonely
soul cannot be filled or satisfied but must be accepted
as our friend. We need not rush to be free of it. Rather,
we can be content to follow it, listen to it and learn from
it.
If we accept it and are content to follow it, loneliness
shows us the way to the low road of spiritual humility.

It has been said that only those who have expe-rienced
hurt can effectively minister to the hurting.
Loneliness peels back the superficial layers of tough,

Parents visit Bethel campus for weekend
by Dona L Amann
The population of Beth-el
grew this past weekend,
Oct. 30-31, when many
students' parents came to
visit Bethel for Parents'
Weekend.
During the weekend par-ents
had the opportunity
to look over the campus. A
special brunch for parents
only was held Saturday
morning. "This was a
change from last year,"
said JoAnn Moberg, a
Bethel .parent. "In past
years we've done other
things, such as a lunch
before the football game.
This year we had more
time between activities, I
felt better about it."
Saturday night parents
and students gathered to-gether
for a banquet. Cal-vin
Lauwers and Merry
Olmstead, Bethel's host
and hostess, started off
the evening with dialogue
and opening prayer.

and get signatures—or at
least they ought to be.
The problem is that
many of the students
either do not spend that
much time with their ad-visors
or else do not see
them at all.
According to Tricia
Brownlee, director of aca-demic
programming, the
academic advising pro-gram
has four basic goals:
1) to make students aware
of the need for planning
their total lives and to as-sist
in that process; 2) to
assist students in identi-by

Nov. 3 is the first day
for the 1982 graduates to
be measured for caps and
gowns. Measurements
will be taken across from
the food card window near
the Lemon Lounge from 8
a.m. to 12 p.m. until Nov.
13.
"It is very important for
graduates to be measured
at-this time. It can be a real
hassel to track down those
fying and developing their
own career and education-al
goals; 3) to assist stu-dents
in executing their
educational plans while at
Bethel; and 4) to make
students aware of the re-sources
available to them
that relate to the execu-tion
of their educational
and career plans.
Brownlee admitted that
the goals of the advising
program are idealistic.
"The biggest problem is
the amount of time that an
advisor is actually able to
spend with an individual,"
said Brownlee. "It's not
that they are unwilling to
spend the time with the
students, but since they
have other responsibili-ties
of preparing and teach-ing
several classes they
often don't have adequate
time to spend with stu-dents
individually."

said Paul Drake, director
of auxilaries. "Latecomers

only measurements taken
are height and head size.
Unlike past years grad-uates
can keep their caps.
This is due to a change in
the cap and gown com-pany.
The new company,
Willsie Caps and Gowns,
is 850 cheaper and in-cludes
the agreement for
counsel. However, be-cause
of the high interest
in certain departments,
such as business, some
teachers have as many as
50 advisees while others
have only 10.
"Students can help by
allowing their advisors
enough time to help,them
in planning their sched-ule,"
said Brownlee. "They
shouldn't wait until the
last minute to see them.
Students will often wait
until the day before they
have to register to see
their advisor."
"I know that I am some-times
probably hard to get
a hold of," said Paul John-son,
instructor in the soci-ology
department, "but I
think if the student tried
hard enough she/he could
get in touch with me. I
know every semester that
not all of my advisees
come to get signatures to
approve the scheduling of
next semester's classes. I
suppose several of them
must forge my name on
the registration sheet."
Dave Murchie, assistant
professor of Biblical and
Theological Studies, said,
"I think most students
have an idea of what they
want, so my main job is to
help guide them through

that they don't get off the

Murchie also said that
he knew not all of his
advisees had come to get
his signature for class
scheduling. "I think it is
the responsibility of the
student to see that he gets
those things done," said
Murchie.

Job Corps running smoothly
by Mitch Anderson
For nearly three months,
the highly controversial
Hubert H. Humphrey Job
Corps Center has been
operating smoothly at the
old Bethel campus at 1480
N. Snelling Ave.
Job Corps is a federally-funded,
privately-run agen-cy
that operates 107 cen-ters
to train 16 to 21-year-old
people in vocational
skills and to help them
complete basic education
if needed. Many of those
served by Job Corps across
the nation are minorities,
high-school dropouts and
young people who have
some previous police rec-ord.
by Mitch Anderson
Outside, shouts and
peals of laughter fill the
warm autumn air as a gym
class plays touch football.
Inside, pleasant conversa-tion
fills the hallways as
classes are released.
Things at the Job Corps
Center seem the same as
when Bethel students oc-cupied
the buildings.
However, Job Corps stu-dents
are allowed to
smoke in the dorms, out-side
and in other desig-nated
areas. This was
never permitted while
Bethel occupied the cam-pus.
Aside from the smoking
rules, many of the rules at
the Center are more strin-gent
than any imposed at
Bethel. No cars, drugs or
alcohol are allowed on
campus. Class attendance
's mandatory, dorm lights
must be out by 11 p.m. and
students are allowed to
leave campus only if given
-a pass. For the average Job
Corps student, who is 19
and has been on his or her
own for a number of years,
these rules are often diffi-cult
to adjust to.
"Sometimes I get fed up
with it all, but I know it's
helping me in the long
run," said Diana Buford
when asked about the
rules. Buford is a 19-year-old
high school dropout
who is working for her
General Education Diplo-ma
(GED) at the Center. A
GED is the equivilant of a
high school diploma.
What is helping Buford
and the other 246 Job
Corps students in the long
run is the vocational and/

receive at the Center. The

Scott Nelson wrote: "Get

...Earn a little money in

His words seem to sum-marize
the outlook of most
Job Corps students.
When Bethel began ne-gotiating
the sale of the
old campus in 1976 with
the U.S. Department of
Labor, area residents
fought bitterly to keep Job
Corps out of the neigh-borhood.
They feared an
increased crime rate arid a
decrease in property
value. Most of the opposi-tion
was based on reports
of serious problems with
other Job Corps centers
around the nation.
After Bethel's six-year
search for a buyer ended
with the $1.6 million sale,
a four and a half year
neighborhood struggle be-gan.
The struggle included
yard signs protesting the
center and a neighbor-hood
coalition which tried
to postpone the opening of
the center by appearing
before the U.S. Supreme
Court with an environ-mental
impact study.
Extra security measures
have been created as a
result of the opposition.
Mayor George Latimer
last year appointed a
neighborhood advisory
committee to screen all
applicants to the center.
Enrollment is limited to
250 students instead of the
planned 400 who are not
allowed to have a car or to
leave campus withou-t a
pass.
Since the students be-gan
arriving last July there
have been few complaints
from the neighbors. "Most
residents have reacted
with surprised pleasure,"
said Center Director Brent
Lewis.
Gerald Healy, Bethel pro-fessor
of English, has lived
a block and a half away
from the campus for 20
years. He said that he
would never know the Job
Corps students were there
unless he drove by the
Center.
One resident near the

When she heard about the

Due to health prob-lems
she is staying, taking

attitude. She
worked at the Center for a

of the kids were nice." She
has not seen any students
going off campus. How-ever,
she keeps a wary eye
on her three young child-ren.
She said she fears the
twelve-member security
force is not great enough
to contain all the students.
Marilyn Starr, Bethel's
dean of women, lives a
half block from the Cen-ter.
She said she is much
more afraid of people from
the State Fair than from
Job Corps. "If there is one
thing I could get rid of in
this neighborhood it is the
State Fair traffic," she
said.
The Corps members,
aware of their controver-sial
presence, established
good public relations this
year when they cleaned
up neighborhood trash
after the State Fair.

Bethel theater opens season with "Acts"
by joAnn Watkins
The Bethel theater de-partment
has opened this
year's season with the
production "Acts." The
play is created and di-rected
by Dale E. Rott,
associate professor of
theater arts at Bethel.
"It will include kick-shaw,
conte, bestiary, apo-logue,
picaresque. Or, if
you like, it will feature
parable, anecdote, legend,
myth, scenario. There
were the stories of Jesus—
now there are the stories
of the followers; there
were the Acts of the Apo-stles—
now there are the
Acts of the followers. A
unique dramatic presen-tation
of great variety,
'Acts' will be highlighted
by an actual laser beam,"
states the publicity no-tices.
The play is different'
from other productions in
that it follows the line of
traditional morality plays.
The audience is involved
even before the central
acting begins. The audi-ence
is given balloons and
fortune cookies. The house
lights are on and back-ground
music plays. Every-one
who seems to be in-volved
with the play is in
costumes ranging from a
cow to purple rabbits to a
clown. All have make-up
mask faces.
When the lights go down
and the play begins the
audience is thrown into
the setting of a centennial
millenial birthday party
for Human Person Male.
A disagreement seems to
be arising between Plea-sure,
a character, and Hu-man
Person Female as to
what Human Person
would like his party to be:
surprise and variety or
order and routine.
I I H
This conflict is carried
throughout the play. Oc-casional
lines, to the
health service, relate the
content of the play to the
Bethel community. Lines
are directed to other char-acters
that refer to the
audience's presence. Cast
members also deliver
some of their lines from
the aisles.
Human Person is pre-sented
with gifts of suc-cess
in business, know-ledge,
religion, power es-thetics
and clinical, bioni-cal
and continual-exis-tence
through medicine.
"It is all based on real
things that are happen-ing,"
said Rott. He said the
aim of the play is "to make
us look at ourselves and
see how we have pervert-ed
truth and purity. The
facts of life are made far-cical
on stage."
"My aim is always to
produce something with
religion in it," he said. Rott
said that the biblical allu-sions
in the play will show
people that we are doing
the same things today as
were done in biblical
times.
In 1971 Rott took the
play "Acts" on tour
through Europe. After re-visions,
a U.S. tour, a trip
to England, and another
rewrite the play is being

The program is an educa-tional

The film will be fol-lowed
by a discussion of
how attendees can become

The focus of the Minne-sota

is a petition that
reads as follows:
"The United States and
the Soviet Union should

arms race. Specifically,
tion. Within the drama is
the love story of a young
peasant woman and a pal-ace
guard. In choosing to
help an abandoned child
of an aristocrat, putting
the welfare of another a-bove
her own, the woman
becomes a symbol of those
who pursue peace in a vio-lent
and corrupt world.
"Brecht's 'Chalk Circle,–
said the director, "offers
the audience an unusual
challenge to consider the
optic:in for goodness and
social responsibility."
they should adopt an
immediate, mutual freeze
on all further testing,
production and deploy-ment
of nuclear weapons
and of missiles and new
aircraft designed pri-marily
to deliver nuclear
weapons."
The goal of the Minne-sota
Nuclear Freeze Cam-paign
is to collect 5,000
signatures for the freeze in
each district of the state.
The petitions will be pre-sented
publicly to local,
state and national repre-sentatives.
Similar cam-paigns
are underway in
over 17 states and 75 con-gressional
districts around
the country. The long range
goal is a bill before the
U.S. Senate.

Bonita Wahl, instructor
of art at Bethel, has made
a film about the process of
creating the 15,000 pound
Job Quest
conference
held Nov. 14
The Twin Cities chap-ter
of Women In Commun-ications,
Inc. (WICI) will
sponsor Job Quest '81, its
fourth annual communi-cations
career conference
Saturday, Nov. 14. The
conference will be held at
the Paul H. Giddens
Alumni Learning Center
on the campus of Hamline
University from 8:30 a.m.
to 4 p.m.
The conference is for stu-dents
and other people
about to enter the corn-munications
job market. It
will provide practical jbb-hunting
advice as well as
detailed information on
specific careers in com-munications.
The day will begin with
guest speakers discussing
the topics "Where Do I Go
from Here: Career Plan-ning,"
and "Pounding the
Pavement: Job Hunting
Skills." The latter session
will cover tips on resume
writing, interviewing tech-niques
and coping with
rejection.
Conference fee is $6 in
advance and $7 at the door.
Registrations may be sent
to Annette Bertelsen,

S. Hampshire Ave., St.
Louis Park, MN 55426.
stainless steel sculpture,
"Rokker V' ", built by Stu
Luckman, professor of art
at Bethel.
Wahl's film follows the
making of the sculpture
from the metal plant
where a crew of up to
eight members worked on
the piece, to the move of
the sculpture at 3 a.m. on
Oct. 8 to the University of
Minnesota campus where
it is on display.
Although the film is
about the creation of a
sculpture, the theme
stresses deadlines and the
importance of enough
faith in the project to con-tinue
working. This theme
helped Wahl overcome ob-stacles
while working on
the film. "I had to live
what I was hearing," she
said.
Wahl began filming at
the end of July and com-pleted
her work a couple
of weeks ago. The end re-sult
is a film about 15
minutes long.
A video tape of the film
is being shown at the Uni-versity
Gallery, Northrop
Auditorium, along with a
video presentation en-titled
"Process: A Public
Sculpture by Stewart Luck-man."
Both shows docu-ment
the process of creat-ing
"Rokker V."
Wahl plans to make
video copies of her film
and send them on tour to
other galleries and uni-versities.
She also would
like the film to travel to
film festivals along with
the presentation show by
Luckman.
The film is in black and
white to achieve true
newsreel documentary
footage. "The quality is
incredible," Wahl said.
"The film has a look of
another time—up to the
minute, yet removed."
Wahl is pleased with the
film and wants it to be
treated as a work of art.
After seeing the com-pleted
film, Wahl said, "I
wanted to pray and thank
the Lord."
"You never can do any-thing
alone," Wahl said.
Wahl stresses the impor-tance
of being supportive
of friends and of accepting
support from others.
"That's the heart of art-work,"
she said.
Wahl earned her master
of fine arts degree in film-making
from the Univer-sity
of Minnesota.
Public strikes:
Corner hosts
two speakers
by Debbie Sayler
Although Executive
'Vice-president of the Min-nesota
AFL-CIO Bernie
Brommer and Deputy Com-missioner
and state labor
negotiator Jim Geissner
differed on public em-ployee
strikes, both said
essential public em-ployees,
such as police and
firemen, should not strike.
To do so would place the
community in danger.
Brommer and Geissner
discussed the question,
"Should all public em-ployees
have the legal
right to strike?" at the
Tuesday, Oct. 27th Speak-er's
Corner debate and
open forum.
Brommer, a trade union-ist
for the American Fed-eration
of State and Coun-ty
Municipal Employees
for 13 years, said public
employees should . have
the right to strike except
in cases where the public's
safety is endangered.
Brommer believes all pub-lic
employees must have
some alternative rights
when they can't strike. He
said they need a mecha-nism
to have input and
suggested collective bar-gaining
for employees.
Geissner disagreed with
Brommer. As a public la-bor
negotiator for 14 years
he argued that public em-ployees
should not be al-lowed
to strike.
He differentiated be-tween
a private sector
strike and a public sector
strike. He pointed out that
consumers do not have al-

ternative products and ser-vices
during a public sec-tor
strike. Consumers can,
however, switch to ano-ther
brand of product or
service when a private
sector strikes.
Geissner also mention-ed
the danger to society
when certain public em-ployees
strike.
In arguing for the rights
of workers, Brommer said
that it is sometimes neces-sary
to use a strike as an
economic weapon when
workers can no longer tol-rate
conditions.
Brommer said he be-lieves
Americans are in-consistent
in their non-sup-port
of public sector
strikes. He said that Amer-icans
support the illegal
Polish strikes but won't
support a U.S. public sec-tor
strike.
Geissner closed by say-ing
that he expects the
next legislature to attempt
to solve the strike prob-lem.
In his closing remarks,
Brommer emphasized that
"laws are made to be
changed."

In the game against St.

first goal was made by
Johnson in the first half of
the game. Barkey upped
the score with a goal as-sisted
by Johnson. Beth-el's
third goal was an un-usual
one. Goalkeeper
Doug Fauth assisted John-son
by throwing the ball
halfway down the field
where Johnson dribbled it
in and scored for the
Royals.
Team member Joel

Friday's game, "We really

disappointment in its per-formance.
With an ideal

that everyone
should turn in slower than
normal times. "I don't
really know what hap-pened,"
said Whittaker.
Boyer commented that
the team "just wasn't
mentally ready to race

revenge on that course

The 12 schools are divided

The success of the var-sity
team has almost over-shadowed
the accomplish-ments
of Coach Carol Gird-ler
and the JV spikers.
Oct. 31 the team partic-ipated
in a JV tournament
at St. Catherine's and fin-ished
in a tie for third. In
the tournament, the Roy-als
knocked off St. Olaf
and Bemidji State, split
with St. Catherine's and
lost to Carleton before los-ing
to Normandale Corn-munity
College in the sem-ifinals.
With one match
left the JV record stood at
15 -8 - 1, an amazing record
considering that Coach
Girdler had no previous
volleyball experience. "I
tried to learn as much as I
could by watching the var-sity
in early season tour-naments
and by asking
Cindy (Coach Book) ques-tions,"
she explained, "and
I also had a great group to
work with."
Girdler will also handle
the head coaching posi-tions
in women's basket-ball
and softball.
